    Security box/credentials/authentication "save password" option

    Hi, We use a client-side control that auto-fills a username and password into a security box to connect to a web site. If you want to see exactly what I mean, browse to https://my.ecare.com/ and see what pops up. I can see the results as the control enters the username/password into this...

    Design choices: training vs. documentation vs. one-time developer fix

    The full list is: training vs. documentation vs. many developer support-calls vs. detailed programmatical system So here's an example pulled from my recent past: how do you go about setting up a lookup table? Editing it? Changing items in the table's names (yes, actually changing the...

    Discussion: philosophy of UI design

    I've become dissatisfied with the UIs I create. Specifically, I'm talking about how my entire application works. This is how I've done it (for the last application I wrote): -Default menus and toolbars, no additions (that's right, INCLUDING the tantalizing-but-disabled 'design' button)...

    'Native' mailmerge reports - as painless as possible

    I've written a FAQ on how to set up Word mailmerge documents so you can use them like Access reports - where you call a function, and it runs the merge and displays the 'report' to you, on demand. So you can, in essence, move particularly tricky reports to Mailmerge format, and use this...

    malloc/new behavior

    I have a problem. The following line produces the error "First-chance exception in lt.exe (NTDLL.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation." when I'm in debug mode. The code is: cout << "sizeof sizeof parseTableRow_t * MAX_REASONABLE_PARSE_TABLE_ROWS" << endl; cout << sizeof parseTableRow_t << "...

    Export any SQL to a mailmerge document - as painless as possible

    So a lot of us don't use mailmerge, partially because it's so painful to do so. You have to 1) make a query, 2) make the mailmerge document point back to that query, 3) allow for Word to seperately open that query everytime mailmerge is run, which may or may not open another Access application...

    Mailmerge problem

    I have a Word mailmerge document that I open using late-binding in VBA. I run the mailmerges on my machine perfectly fine, but on other machines, they are given a popup to confirm the data source. Sigh. Here is the original thread: thread181-817153 - please post replies there, if that's okay...

    Mailmerge problem

    Because some of my reports for my project need to be extremely flexible, I threw up my hands and rewrote them as Word Mailmerge documents. Then I wrote a (very handy, if I do say so myself, which I do) procedure that instamagically opens the appropriate mailmerge document for any passed-in SQL...

    Subform hatred: after a few hours of fooling with one

    1. When you close the main form, any changes made to the subform will either be saved or lost. There is no option to 'cancel' the form close. Compare this to making changes on the main form -- if you 'cancel' the BeforeUpdate event when someone is trying to close the form, a special dialog...

    SMTP problem - switching ISPs constantly

    First off, I'm a student. I have two POP email accounts--one with the school, one with a web hosting service. I have a third account with my ISP (cable Internet provider), but it is totally unused and I don't care about it. It is my understanding that I can only send OUT email using SMTP...

    My Access wishlist - it turns out to be a Top Ten list

    My wishlist is as follows: 1. Reports natively output to .DOC or other ubiquitous format (.RTF, .PDF). This way, your users can email the reports to their colleagues, without installing the Snapshot Viewer. RTF output is ok, but isn't perfect. I need a PERFECT output, and I DO NOT want to...

    Cargo cultists and the separate ways people search for answers

    I think this encapsulates my entire experience at Tek-Tips: "Cargo Cultists, Part Three: Is Mort A Cargo Cultist?" http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2004/03/02/82840.aspx In this, "Mort" refers to the in-house, 'line-of-business' developer. I link to the third part of the article...

    Losing design changes -- mostly in form design. Any tips?

    First off, I'm running Access 97 on Windows 2000 SP4. I'm testing my application right now, and certain behavior (auto-ALLCAPS on one field) that I'm ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN I programmed in is not happening. I'm absolutely certain that I have made this change. It was about a month ago. But now...

    Pronunciation: &quot;S.Q.L.&quot; or &quot;sequel&quot;?

    I've heard both. I use the SQL-as-in-letters pronunciation method, but I've heard others use the &quot;sequel.&quot; Which is it? Pete

    Frustration - table datasheet window is too large

    When I open a table in datasheet view (the one that makes it look like a spreadsheet), my table window is resized so that the bottom of the window extends below the bottom of my Access window. So if I want to use the record navigation buttons, I have to switch to the mouse, drag over, click...

    Q about rearranging group headers/page headers

    Linksys WRT54G problems:

    I've read a hundred threads on usenet about problems with the Linksys Wireless-G routers. I'd appreciate some direction as to how to fix my problems. My WRT54G drops the internet connection after a variable period of time. I've been good for two hours, or as little as fifteen minutes. I am...

    db.Close not necessary

    I think this is a widely-propogated fallacy--when you use your local Database object, you do not have to use the &quot;.Close&quot; method when you're done with it. An example: Sub UseLocalDB() On Error GoTo Sub_Error Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset 'Note we did...

    Need help with transactions on a bound form

    What I basically want is a way that I can reverse any changes I've made while using the form. From this bound form, I can add/edit data, but I can also (via SQL statements) delete rows. If I delete a row in some other table, and then &quot;undo&quot; the edit of the form, I want it to be able...

    Error-trapping question
